MIPSE Seminar: A Multi-Dimensional View of the U.S. Inertial Confinement Fusion Program (September 27, 2017 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44333 44333-9908968@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

The U.S. Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) program is pursuing three major approaches with a goal of achieving multi-mega-Joule fusion yields in the laboratory: laser indirect drive, laser direct drive, and magnetic direct drive (MDD), each with unique physics and engineering challenges. There are, however, many commonalities in the plasma conditions and dynamics that occur near peak compression, the need for new diagnostic capability, and the need to control laser plasma instabilities (LPI). Greater cross-fertilization of expertise and ideas across the national program combined with advancements in experimental methods and new technologies is leading to new insights into the physical processes of each approach. Parallel efforts are underway to understand the length and temperature scaling of hydro-equivalent implosions and laser energy coupling from OMEGA to NIF, while LPI mitigation and control experiments are being performed on NIF, OMEGA, and Nike, all linked via a common LPI modeling platform. In MDD, experiments at NIF, OMEGA, and Z have demonstrated effective gas heating for the laser preheating phase of the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF). This talk re-views the status and future outlook of U.S. efforts in ICF through a comparison of the common challenges and key differences of the three major approaches and highlights of recent accomplishments and future plans.

Gas-liquid flows exist within many engineering devices including fuel injectors, wave energy extraction devices, fire suppression systems, and PEM fuel cells. Many of these flows are challenging to explore experimentally and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations o↵er an alternative and useful approach to advance our understanding. For example, the breakup of liquid fuel into droplets via atomization has a direct effect on combustion efficiency and pollutant formation, yet a fundamental understanding of the complex process is absent. Laboratory experiments are inherently difficult to conduct because atomizing jets produce a large number of opaque droplets that hinder optical access to the breakup dynamics. With increasing computational resources and advancements in numerical methods, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a promising tool to investigate the fundamental nature of atomization. In this presentation, I will present an overview of difficulties arising due to the discontinuities that exist at the gas-liquid interface and recent advances in numerical methods that overcome these challenges. Then I will discuss efforts to improve the the usefulness of the very large data-sets that result from CFD simulations. Details on computing the curvature of a gas-liquid interface, implementing contact line dynamics, performing physics extraction, and coupling gas-liquid flow calculations with uncertainty quantification we be discussed.

MIPSE Seminar: Energy Transfer in Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence (November 15, 2017 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44344 44344-9908980@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 15, 2017 3:30pm

Compressibility, magnetic fields and turbulence are all thought to be important factors to varying degrees in many astrophysical processes and terrestrial experiments. However, our understanding of their joint effect even in its simplest description, i.e. compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, is still scarce. One step towards a more comprehensive picture is a better understanding of the governing energy dynamics – looking at the interplay between kinetic and magnetic energy via different mediators such as advection, magnetic tension or magnetic pressure. In this talk, we present an extension of established shell-to-shell energy transfer analysis methods to the compressible MHD regime. We apply this analysis to numerical simulations in the subsonic and supersonic regime. These methods allow us to illustrate how varying degrees of compressibility influence the energy dynamics within and between kinetic and magnetic energy reservoirs. For example, we show that compression acts against a magnetic energy cascade (scale-local magnetic to magnetic energy transfer). Moreover, we present how magnetic tension becomes overall less important with increasing sonic Mach number.

The National Ignition Facility (NIF), at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), is the world’s largest laser. NIF houses 192 beams delivering >1.8 MJ of UV energy and peak powers of 500 TW to a small target (<< cm3). Depositing this energy in a small volume creates extreme radiation environments and large pressures that have been used to create unique conditions for studying matter at high energy densities. High energy density (HED) matter is defined as having pressures > 1,000,000 atm. Understanding the behavior of matter at high energy densities is important for our national security, many astrophysical questions, and obtaining inertial confinement fusion ignition. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the NIF and some of the technology that enables it, discuss progress in HED science and inertial confinement fusion, and talk about the challenges and opportunities for future research.

Abstract:
Rapid progress in materials science and electronics has blurred the distinction between man-made electronic devices and biological systems. Seamless integration of electronic devices with living systems could contribute substantially to basic biology as well as to clinical diagnostics and therapeutics through tissue-electronics interfaces. In this presentation, I will first introduce a syringe-injectable tissue-like mesh electronics for merging nanoelectronic arrays and circuits with the brain in three-dimension (3D). The injectable mesh electronics has micrometer feature size and effective bending stiffness values similar to neural tissues. These unprecedented features lead to the gliosis-free and 3D interpenetrated electronics-neuron network, enabling the chronically stable neuron activity recording at single-neuron resolution in behaving animals. Second, I will describe a fully stretchable electronic sensor array through the development of multiple chemically-orthogonal and intrinsically stretchable polymeric electronic materials. The fully stretchable sensor array has modulus similar to biological tissues, allowing an intimate mechanical coupling with heart for a stable and anatomically precise electrophysiological recording. Its application for high-throughput and high-density mapping of 3D cardiac arrhythmogenic activities on the porcine model with a chronic atrial fibrillation will be discussed. Third, I will present a fundamentally new approach for a direct formation of electrical connections with genetically-targeted cells. This approach is accomplished through the convergence of genome engineering, in situ enzymatic reaction and polymer chemistry. These genetically-targeted electrodes are inherently assembled to the subcellular-specific region of neurons throughout the intact functional neural tissue and in stem cell-derived human brain organoids. Importantly, this system also enables the cellular-resolution tuning of local neuronal activity and bridging of brain regions to external devices for the targeted recording.

Solar electric propulsion (EP) is firmly in the main-stream of propulsion technologies for deep space missions. To go faster and farther, deep space mis-sions of the future will require increasingly larger total changes in the spacecraft velocity – ΔV. The largest ΔV provided by any onboard propulsion system in deep space is 11 km/s by the ion propulsion system on NASA’s Dawn mission. This is 3 to 4 times higher than the ΔV by any onboard chemical propulsion system. Solar EP has now been used on six missions beyond Earth orbit: Deep Space 1, SMART-1, Hayabusa 1, LISA Pathfinder, Hayabusa 2, and Dawn; and on hundreds of commercial communication satellites. The next uses of EP will be NASA’s mission to the metal world (16) Psyche and ESA’s BebiColombo mission to Mercury. This activity is driven by the inescapable reality of the rocket equation. Yet EP has just scratched the surface of what it can do. This talk will discuss how advanced EP technologies will impact an impressive range of future space activities including: rapid transportation throughout the solar system; human missions beyond low-Earth orbit; planetary defense; asteroid mining; gravitational wave experiments; and even interstellar precursor missions.

Abstract:
Organs are dynamic, complex and coordinated networks of cells. To understand organ function in normal and diseased states, their anatomy, including transcriptional profile and intracellular pathways, needs to be captured as a whole. Towards this end, tissue clearing and labeling methods were devised to render entire organs transparent by removing lipids, allowing light penetration throughout (1). Cleared tissue facilitates the 3D structural mapping and connectivity of whole organs with unprecedented resolution and detail, for instance, our recent demonstration of single molecule RNA transcript detection in thick mouse brain tissue (2).

Although tissue clearing methods work well on soft tissue, vital organs with complex composition (e.g. bones and cartilage) are challenging to clear. Given that bone tissue harbors unique and essential physiological processes, such as hematopoiesis, bone growth, and bone remodeling, we decided to enable visualization of these processes at the cellular level in an intact environment. Therefore, we developed “Bone CLARITY,” a bone tissue clearing method (3). We used Bone CLARITY and a custom-built light- sheet fluorescence microscope to detect the endogenous fluorescence of Sox9-tdTomato+ osteoprogenitor cells in the tibia, femur, and vertebral column of adult transgenic mice. To obtain a complete distribution map of these osteoprogenitor cells, we developed a computational pipeline that semiautomatically detects individual Sox9-tdTomato+ cells in their native three-dimensional environment. Our computational method counted all labeled osteoprogenitor cells without relying on sampling techniques and displayed increased precision when compared with traditional stereology techniques for estimating the total number of these rare cells. We demonstrate the value of the clearing-imaging pipeline by quantifying changes in the population of Sox9-tdTomato–labeled osteoprogenitor cells after sclerostin antibody treatment. Bone tissue clearing is able to provide fast and comprehensive visualization of biological processes in intact bone tissue.

From the brain to bone, I believe that with continued development, methods that measure cellular and molecular phenotyping at the whole organ level will be the de facto approach to studying biological questions and diseases.

“Dissecting tumor cell plasticity and population interactions supporting metastasis using single cell genomics”

Abstract:

Disseminated tumor cells can give rise to metastasis months to years after detection and treatment of the primary tumor. The cellular mechanisms underlying delayed metastasis are poorly understood. Here we employ single-cell RNA sequencing to transcriptionally profile >80,000 cancer cells and infiltrating immune cells from primary and metastatic patient lung adenocarcinomas and in mouse models of metastasis-initiation. We show that primary tumors are replete with metastasis-initiating cells and demonstrate a striking level of developmental plasticity that is constrained to the SOX9 (distal) lineage in patient metastases. I recapitulated these findings in a mouse model of lung cancer metastasis, where I further demonstrate that growth-restricted (i.e. quiescent/dormant) MetSC conversely persist in a state of differentiation down the Sox2 proximal airway lineage. Using fluorescence lineage-tracing techniques, we show that these quiescent cells are monoclonal and retain metastatic stem-cell properties. This was in contrast to more aggressive metastatic derivatives that showed evidence of polyclonal seeding from the orthotopic site. Strikingly, depletion of Natural Killer (NK) cells allowed escape of cells that recapitulate both proximal and distal lung lineages; demonstrating that developmental plasticity during the invasion-metastasis cascade undergoes NK-cell mediated pruning. How tumor cells, either intrinsically or through adaptation, exploit such phenotypic plasticity and context-dependent cell-cell interactions for metastatic progression will remain the focus of my independent research program.

“Breaking down the immunobiology of implant fibrosis/foreign body response”

Abstract:

Implanted biomedical devices comprise a major component of modern medicine and are essential for many clinical applications ranging from tissue repair/reconstruction, electrical pacing/stimulation, controlled release, glucose sensing, and cell transplantation. However, a huge impediment to their therapeutic performance and lifespan, host immune-mediated foreign body response, results in their being walled off behind dense layers of fibrotic scar tissue. The first part of my talk will focus on systems biology approaches, including serial or combined innate and adaptive immune perturbations to elucidate immune-mediated rejection and fibrotic sequestration of biomaterial medical device implants. Identification of core innate and adaptive immune cell players will be discussed. Furthermore, cytokine and cytokine receptor array analysis in conjunction with cell sorting, antibody-based neutralization and small molecule inhibition will be presented in the context of identifying more selective targets in the fibrotic cascade. Throughout, multiple tissue implant sites, biomaterials, multi-component devices, and animal models, including non-human primates and a newly developed humanized mouse model, will also be presented. The last part of my talk will focus on leveraging this information toward the design of next generation technologies, including implant architecture, surface chemistries, and long-term controlled release systems, for successful elimination of rejection by modulating immune response.

“A bioarchitectonic approach to biological production and nanoscale control”

Abstract:
We all face a number of interconnected major challenges in the 21st century, including climate change, environmental pollution and health care crises. Pursuing sustainable and efficient biological production approaches of drugs, fuels and materials as well as continued biomedical innovation are two of the main strategies needed to address these problems. My approach to tackling these issues relies on the discovery, understanding and engineering of self-assembling protein-based nanostructures. In this talk, I will focus on encapsulin nanocompartments, a recently discovered class of small protein organelles. I will first discuss two newly discovered encapsulin systems relating to iron metabolism and the global nitrogen cycle. Building on a fundamental understanding of encapsulin assembly, a number of engineering projects which utilize programmable engineered nanospaces to improve biological production and exert spatiotemporal control over metabolism will then be presented. Finally, I will briefly outline future projects that employ engineered 3D and 1D nanostructures for applications in drug delivery, molecular imaging, biosensing and engineering the biology-electronics interface.

ABSTRACT: War is changing. It is being redefined by the connectivity and accessibility of today’s information age conveniences like smart phones and the internet. This has been enabled by rapid advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Arguably, ICT can fuel conflict, which can now play out in new virtual venues including the world of social media. The growing dependence of individuals and states on ICT exacerbates their vulnerabilities as does the interconnections and interdependence growing between nation-states. Traditionally, the definition of war between nation-states has been characterized by “armed conflict.” This is no longer the case. Information warfare (vs. traditional kinetic warfare) may be emerging as a more likely form. And, free and open societies appear to be at a disadvantage to some extent. In this talk, Dr. Porche will discuss how this new normal came about, including the technology and policies that have enabled it. The goal of this talk is to motivate the audience to think about how technology and technological progress can do the following: (i) mitigate the vulnerabilities that free and open societies have inherited and (ii) safeguard key values like privacy and free expression, which is what has helped foster the technological growth of the last few decades.

BIO: Dr. Porche is a senior engineer at the RAND Corporation, where he currently serves as the Director of the Acquisition and Development Program in the Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center (HSOAC). As a program director, he overseas a wide range of projects supporting the Department of Homeland Security and its components. Dr. Porche joined RAND in 1998 after graduating from the University of Michigan with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. He has led research projects for the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Joint Staff, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He has served on the U.S. Army Science Board supporting a number of its cyber-related panels. He is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University. At the Institute of Politics and Strategy at Carnegie Mellon University, Dr. Porche serves as an adjunct instructor, where he teaches a graduate class titled “Policy and Technology of Cyberwar.” He has authored numerous RAND publications, peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers. He is also a frequent contributor of op-eds and commentary for news outlets on military and science topics and has been quoted in other media outlets including National Public Radio, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Baltimore Sun. Dr. Porche’s areas of expertise include cybersecurity, network and communication technology, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, data mining, modeling and simulation, cybersecurity, rapid acquisition processes, and operations research techniques. In 2016, he presented testimony on emerging cyber threats and implications before the House Homeland Security Committee, Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies. His latest RAND publication, Cyber Power Potential of the Army’s Reserve Component, focuses on how to train, manage, and develop the Army’s cyber force. He is the author of the forthcoming book Cyberwarfare 101: Technology, Tactics, and Techniques for Information-age Conflict (Artech House, 2019).

ABOUT THE EVENT: Dr. Porche is the inaugural speaker for the ECE Willie Hobbs Moore Alumni Lecture.

The ECE Willie Hobbs Moore Alumni Lecture is given by ECE alumni from traditionally underrepresented groups in Electrical and Computer Engineering who are leaders in their field and serve as role models for the ECE community through their leadership, impact on society, service to the community, or other contributions.

Willie Hobbs Moore (1934–1994) was the first African American woman at Michigan to earn a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering (‘58 and ‘61), and the first African American woman in the country to earn a PhD in physics in 1972. She joined Ford Motor Company in 1977, where she was known for expanding the use of Japanese engineering and manufacturing methods. She was named one of the 100 “most promising black women in corporate America” by Ebony magazine in 1991.

In this talk I will discuss new space applications that are enabled by the recent development of compact, relativistic electron accelerators. First, I will describe a mission concept, called CONNection EXplorer (CONNEX), to connect magnetospheric physical processes to auroral phenomena. CONNEX is based on an electron beam fired from a magnetospheric spacecraft along magnetic field lines and optically imaging the beam spot in the ionosphere. The mitigation steps undertaken for the successful development of CONNEX will be discussed, with a particular focus on a scheme for mitigating critical issues of spacecraft charging induced by the electron beam. Second, I will discuss application of relativistic electron beams for radiation belt remediation. In this context, electron beams can excite plasma waves that can be exploited via wave-particle interaction to reduce hazardous fluxes of energetic particles to safer levels. I will also touch upon innovative numerical tools being used in support of these activities.

Gian Luca Delzanno obtained his MS in Nuclear Engr. (1999) and PhD in Plasma Physics (2003) from Politecnico di Torino (PT) in Italy. After a postdoctoral position with the Burning Plasma Research Group at PT, in 2005 he moved to the T-5 Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, initially as a postdoctoral associate and later as a technical staff member. His research interests are in theoretical and computational plasma physics. His work addresses development of numerical methods for multi-scale plasma physics simulations with application to space-physics. The latter include the SHIELDS project to develop global space-weather models of the near-Earth environment including substorm physics, the CONNEX project to study magnetosphere-ionosphere-coupling with relativistic electron beams, and wave-particle-interaction physics.

Interested in recruiting for a consulting position but unfamiliar with the case interview format? This workshop, brought to you by Accenture, will be an opportunity for you to learn more about the case interviews that consulting firms use today. The presentation will cover a range of topics including the different formats of cases, common questions and frameworks, and tips on how to prepare. There is no "right" answer to the case. Firms are interested in how clearly you define the problem, how logically you structure your analysis, and how well you communicate your thoughts.

For most of the workshop, two Engineering seniors who have recruited and/or interned in consulting will demonstrate an actual case interview. There will be ample time for questions.

Food will be provided. Space is limited, please register under the Events section of Engineering Careers if planning to attend. This event is co-hosted by the Engineering Career Resource Center.

“Priming Nonviral Gene Delivery for Stem Cell and Vaccination Applications”

Abstract:
Gene delivery is the delivery of exogenous genetic material to cells with the goal of altering molecular physiology to produce a cellular or systemic phenotype change. Unlike many conventional drugs, free nucleic acids are not readily internalized by eukaryotic cells due to size and charge, but many methods of their delivery to cells are the subject of intense research, including viral and non-viral methods. Non-viral gene delivery methods are much less efficient than viral methods, but flexibility in genetic cargo, ease of transfection protocols, and lack of safety issues make them advantageous alternatives. Strategies to engineer more effective non-viral gene delivery materials and methods are highly dependent on variable parameters such as cell type and application, and have focused on engineering increasingly more complex lipid and polymer vectors, but the rational design of new technologies is limited by our current knowledge of several key cellular barriers. To expand our knowledge of the “biology of transfection” our group has made efforts to understand the process of gene delivery, using diverse tools include modeling, gene expression analysis, high throughput screening, cell priming, and the development of new material systems, for stem cell and vaccination applications.

**Note change of location**
We are excited to announce the launch of TBP Graduate Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations organized by Tau Beta Pi for the College of Engineering, a pilot professional development event funded by the College of Engineering and the Office of Student Affairs.

Training (for) Better Presentations is aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills, so they can learn to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience. It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.

Intended as "teaching through practice" event, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

Starting mid-February and leading up to June, we will be organizing multiple sessions for this event, and we invite you to participate. The sessions will be held on Saturday mornings (9am - 11am), and will be scheduled to occur once every 2-3 weeks. Breakfast and coffee will be provided!

If you are interested in participating as a speaker, please indicate your availability on the "Speaker sign up" form and the planning committee will follow up with you for scheduling. If you are interested in participating as an audience member, please sign up through our TBP website on the "Audience sign up" link. Note: you be prompted to create a guest profile in order to sign-up as an audience member.

We look forward to your participation!

MIPSE Seminar | Emerging Research Topics in Plasma Science: Plasma-control of Electromagnetic Waves and High Energy Density Plasma Jets and Their Interactions (March 28, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47480 47480-10929759@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

This presentation will focus on two emerging areas of plasma science research at Stanford. The first part of will provide an overview of recent work at Stanford and of a Stanford-led multi-university effort on the integration of plasmas into metamaterials and photonic crystals for the control of electromagnetic waves in the centimeter – millimeter range of the spectrum. Plasmas, because of their unusual dielectric constant, provide a means of reconfiguring otherwise passive microwave photonic and plasmonic devices that are used to filter, switch, or redirect electromagnetic waves. The second part will focus on recent studies of high energy density plasmas and the formation of hypervelocity plasma jets of extreme density (1018 cm-3) and temperature (50-100 eV). The interactions of these jets with surfaces generate an extreme heat flux (>10 GW/m2) and can serve as simulators of disruptions that occur in magnetic confinement fusion reactors. We will describe efforts at characterizing the jet structure including first videography of unsteady dynamics, and also recent measurements of surface heat deposition rates.

Mark A. Cappelli is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, and co-Director of the Engineering Physics Major. He received his B.Sc. degree in Physics from McGill University, and his M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in Aerospace Sciences. The focus of his Ph.D. dissertation involved the formation of high density plasma channels to facilitate the propagation of ion beams to targets in light-ion beam fusion. He joined the Stanford faculty in 1987. At Stanford, he has studied the applications of plasmas to space propulsion, materials synthesis and processing, combustion, aerodynamics, and most recently, to the control of electromagnetic waves.

“MR/PET Synergies: Correcting Motion During Dynamic MR/PET Scans Through Self
Refocused Navigators and Coil Fingerprints”

Abstract:
MR/PET scanners allow simultaneous acquisition of MR and PET scans during clinical examinations. This feature has great potential to improve our ability to capitalize on PET’s unique capabilities to probe important metabolic processes in vivo. Examples include: improving image quality for low specific activity tracers through the use of joint MR/PET reconstruction, reduction of radiation exposure (90%) for standard-of-care Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) scans, improvement of tracer kinetic analysis and motion correction of dynamic PET scans. Motion correction of dynamic PET scans, in particular, is an unmet challenge as the use of external gating signals for retrospective motion correction has proven unreliable for a variety of different reasons. In this presentation, we demonstrate an approach for motion correction of MR/PET scans based on the use of short, self-refocused, multidimensional navigator modules. These modules allow continuous (every TR) tracking of abdominal motion through monitoring of the time course of the “generalized projections” spatially encoded by the navigator modules. We demonstrate, using in-vivo as well as motion phantom data, that these modules are compatible with both 3D and 2D MRI- sequences and that their use allows the removal of large (60%) quantitative biases in PET scans due to multi-dimensional (i.e., cardiac and respiratory) motion blur.

Plasma-based water treatment (PWT) uses electrical discharges formed in contact with or in the vicinity of water to degrade chemicals in contaminated water. Plasma in these conditions is capable of producing a diverse range of highly reactive species with low energy input without chemical additives, which makes PWT a promising treatment technology. PWT has not yet proven to be viable, largely due to a lack of knowledge for designing effective plasma reactors and targeting appropriate applications. We have developed a bench-scale PWT process to treat perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in groundwater with high enough efficiency to rival leading technologies. A scaled-up continuous-flow prototype demonstrated PFASs degradation rates far exceeding those of the bench system. A more practical solution for PWT of high flowrates of PFAS-containing water is to combine it with an ion exchange (IX) system wherein the plasma treats the IX regeneration brine, a complex chemical mixture of PFASs, methanol, and sodium chloride. In this talk development of PWT systems will be discussed, correlating bulk liquid transport with the plasma-liquid interface dynamics using analytical measurements and fluid dynamics modeling.

“Think Inside the Channel: Lessons from Cancer Cell Migration in Confinement”

Abstract:
During the process of cancer metastasis, tumor cells separate from a primary tumor, migrate across blood vessel walls into the circulation and disperse throughout the body to colonize distant organs. This seminar will present an interdisciplinary approach, integrating engineering fundamentals with molecular cell biology techniques to understand cancer cell locomotion in engineered microenvironments, which recapitulate the three-dimensional longitudinal channels encountered in vivo. This presentation will focus on how tumor cells sense, adapt and respond to different physical microenvironments. The seminar will also discuss how this knowledge has led to the development of a microchannel assay capable of distinguishing aggressive from non-aggressive cancer cells for diagnosis, prognosis and precision care of cancer patients.

Electron emission from a material through an interface to vacuum or other materials is a fundamental process in cathodes, diodes, ionization and electrical contact. Depending on the energy used to produce electron emission, it can be broadly characterized into 3 processes: thermionic emission TE (thermal energy), field emission FE (quantum tunneling) and photoemission PE (photon absorption or optical tunneling). Regardless of the emission mechanism, the emission current density may become saturated – space charge limited emission (SCLE). Basic models for these processes (TE, PE, PE, SCLE) have been captured in the Richardson law, Child-Langmuir (CL) law, Fowler-Nordheim (FN) law, and the Keldysh model. With the development of two-dimensional (2D) atomic scale materials, these classical laws may require revision to account for new material properties, as well as novel operating regimes in nanometer dimensions and ultrashort time scales. In this talk, self-consistent electron emission models will be presented, with applications to 2D materials such as graphene. These new models exhibit smooth transitions to the classical models while providing new scaling laws that can be included into numerical codes. These new models provide better agreement with experimental results. A selection of applications of these models to engineering product development in energy harvesting, electronics and photonics will also be presented.

Lay Kee (Ricky) Ang received his BS in 1994 from National Tsing Hua Univ., Taiwan, and his MS & PhD from U. Michigan (1996, 1999). He is currently a professor under the Engineering Product Development pillar, Singapore Univ. of Technology and Design (SUTD), and the Ng Teng Fong chair Professor under the SUTD–ZJU (Zhejiang University) IDEA (Innovation, Design and Entrepreneurship Alliance). Before joining SUTD, he was with the Nanyang Technological Univ., Singapore (2002-11), and with Los Alamos National Laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow (1999-2001). His research interests are in the formulation of basic scaling laws for device physics, focusing on novel materials and nano-structures. In applied mathematics, he is applying fractional calculus to analyze complicated and disordered systems. His research is funded by Singapore (MOE, ASTAR, SUTD) and USA (AFOSR and ONRG).

“Quantitative ultrasound contrast imaging from pre-clinical models to human trials”

Abstract:
The use of gas filled microbubbles (1-10 μm in diameter) as vascular tracers and contrast agents for ultrasound imaging is well established. Such contrast agents are used worldwide to improve the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound imaging especially when employed in combination with novel nonlinear contrast imaging modes such pulse inversion second harmonic and subharmonic imaging (SHI). Our group produced the first ever human SHI images. We have previously shown that SHI signals can indicate hydrostatic pressures in vitro and has developed a noninvasive pressure measurement technique, known as subharmonic-aided pressure estimation (SHAPE), based on this principle. Noninvasive SHAPE measurements may be a useful alternative to catheter- based measurements of cardiac conditions or portal hypertension. Here, we present results from our pre-clinical and clinical trials on the utility of ultrasound contrast imaging in general as well as quantitative SHI and SHAPE results in particular.

"Defect-Tolerant? Nanoscale Insights into the Structural and Chemical Determinants of Halide Perovskite Optoelectronic Performance"

ABSTRACT:
Halide perovskites have attracted widespread interest for application in optoelectronics including solar cells, LEDs, and lasers because of their low-temperature synthesis and reported defect tolerance, in stark contrast to commercialized silicon and thin film technologies. In this talk, I will discuss how we are using nanoprobe X-ray microscopy to investigate the relationship between the defects that do appear in hybrid perovskites and optoelectronic performance and stability. Using a series of model materials, we have studied the heterogeneity in local chemistry and structure in these films and its significant impact on charge collection and degradation. I will also share insights from our in situ nanoprobe investigations of non-stoichiometry in operating perovskite solar cells. By understanding and mitigating defects in the bulk and at interfaces, we aim to systematically accelerate the development of these optoelectronic materials.

BIO:
Dr. David P. Fenning is an Assistant Professor in NanoEngineering at UC San Diego, where his group researches materials for solar energy conversion and storage. Currently, his work focuses on defects and reliability in silicon and hybrid perovskite solar cells and CO2 electrocatalysis for solar fuels. After completing his Ph.D. on silicon solar cell materials at MIT in 2013, he worked with the silicon R&D team at 1366 Technologies Inc., followed by an MIT/Battelle postdoctoral fellowship in solar fuels. He joined the NanoEngineering department at UC San Diego in 2015. He is a recipient of the American Chemical Society’s PRF New Investigator award and was recognized as a 2017 Hellman Fellow. His research is supported by the DOE SunShot Initiative and the California Energy Commission.
